Podcast appearances and mentions of Otto Preminger

We're kicking off our series on DC Onscreen with a look at the romance of Otto Preminger's 1962 Senate drama Advise & Consent! Join in as we discuss the movie's deployment of star Henry Fonda, the tension between Preminger's liberalism and Allen Drury's Pulitzer-winning novel, and the real-life incidents that inspired the story. Plus: What stunt castings did Preminger want (and get) for the movie? How effective is its then-controversial depiction of gay people? And, most importantly, is Gene Tierney's Dolly Harrison the coolest woman we'll see in this series? Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe! Next week: D.C.

This month, we're talking about 60s and 70s Hollywood; the old masters giving their last efforts for a dying system, and the new filmmakers who changed everything. Today's episode is on Otto Preminger's Skidoo, a tragically unhip 1968 acid comedy featuring the comedy and TV stars of the previous 30 years. We talked about why it's great even if the jokes themselves aren't that funny, and what a modern Skidoo would be like. Plus, some deep podcast lore.

⭐Laura (1944): The Film Noir Masterpiece That Will Keep You Guessing ⭐

Ep. 308: Karina Longworth on You Must Remember This: The Old Man Is Still Alive – Capra, Ford, Donen, Wyler, and Co. Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. Karina Longworth's You Must Remember This podcast needs no introduction for her erudite, wildly popular considerations of Hollywood film history, and in her latest season of episodes, she looks at the late-career work of major directors through a variety of lenses. I was delighted to welcome Longworth to the latest episode of The Last Thing I Saw to discuss her selection of filmmakers and their often idiosyncratic later works, including Frank Capra, Stanley Donen, John Ford, Otto Preminger, and William Wyler. She also makes a pick or two of contemporary directors we might consider in their twilight today...

Long an antagonist to Hollywood's norms (not to mention its actresses), Preminger began the 1960s by directing a massive blockbuster (Exodus) and earning his second Oscar nomination (for directing The Cardinal). But towards the end of the decade, with 1967's Hurry, Sundown, he began a run of six films which attempted to respond to changing times, all of which flopped. We'll focus primarily on two of these: the much-maligned Skidoo, an indictment of both hippies and the true American establishment which Preminger prepared for by dropping acid with Timothy Leary; and the unfairly forgotten Such Good Friends, the rare sex comedy of the era to understand the extent to which the sexual revolution did little to liberate women from the expectations of men.

This episode was originally released on July 4, 2017. Listen to help prep for the next episode of our new season, The Old Man is Still Alive. Jean Seberg made her first two films, Saint Joan and Bonjour Tristesse, for director Otto Preminger, a tyrannical svengali character whose methods would traumatize Jean for the rest of her life and career. No wonder she rebelled against this bad dad figure by marrying a handsome French opportunist. Meanwhile, Jane Fonda moves to New York, joins the Actors Studio, takes up with her own hyper-controlling male partner, and tries to define herself as something other than Henry Fonda's daughter.

Starring Gene Tierney as the enigmatic Laura Hunt and Dana Andrews as the detective unraveling her mystery, this tale of obsession, deception, and love blurs the lines between reality and illusion. From Clifton Webb's acerbic wit as Waldo Lydecker to Vincent Price's surprising turn as a charming cad, we dissect how Laura became a hallmark of the noir genre. Join us as we analyze its themes of identity, desire, and perception, and discuss why Laura remains a cornerstone of cinematic storytelling.

David Cairns returns to discuss the end of Ernst Lubitsch's career and life: a period in which, after a heart attack left him debilitated, he produced a series of films directed by the likes of Joseph L. Mankiewicz and Otto Preminger. We cover Dragonwyck, cinema's foremost depiction of the Dutch patroonship system in what is now upstate New York; A Royal Scandal, a remake of Forbidden Paradise; andThat Lady in Ermine, Lubitsch's final unfinished project later completed to little effect by Otto Preminger. Throughout the episode, we discuss the gap in worldviews between Lubitsch and Preminger, our dream Lubitsch/actor pairings that never came to pass, Billy Wilder's tall tales, Ernst Lubitsch's death, and what comes next. Edited by Brennen King. We have a Discord! Listen on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify NEXT WEEK: A reading of Freundschaft, Samson Raphaelson's eulogy for Ernst Lubitsch. WORKS CITED: The World and Its Double: The Life and Work of Otto Preminger by Chris Fujiwara

In 1960, Otto Preminger provoked controversy with his movie Exodus. Based on Leon Uris’s novel, it provides a fictional account of Jewish refugees emigrating to Palestine after World War II. The film concludes with the bodies of a young European-Jewish girl and an Arab man, both murder victims, buried in the same grave in what will soon be the nation of Israel. Preminger leaves the conclusion to us. Is this a metaphor for despair, a dream forever buried? Or is it a symbol of hope, as two peoples with a history of hatred and hostilities come together—in death and in life? Perhaps the sons of Korah, credited with writing Psalm 87, would take the latter view of this scene. They anticipated a peace we still await. Of Jerusalem, they wrote, “Glorious things are said of you, city of God” (v. 3). They sang of a day when nations—all with a history of warring against the Jewish people—will come together to acknowledge the one true God: Rahab (Egypt), Babylon, the Philistines, Tyre, Cush (v. 4). All will be drawn to Jerusalem, and to God. The conclusion of the psalm is celebratory. People in Jerusalem will sing, “All my fountains [springs] are in you” (v. 7). Who are they singing of? The One who is the Living Water, the Source of all life (John 4:14). Jesus is the only one who can bring lasting peace and unity.

Melbourne's Medically Supervised Injecting Room (MSIR) in North Richmond opened in 2018. This was the result of a years-long grassroots campaign led by the local community, fed up with constant overdoses in the streets. The MSIR operates on principles of harm reduction which simply work and urgently need to be applied throughout the world. The stigma around drug use, and the criminalising of drug users, must end - and that begins with us. In 1955, Frank Sinatra made a historically significant contribution to the destigmatisation of drug use on film in Otto Preminger's The Man with the Golden Arm. In a depiction that is in many ways still radical today, Sinatra's character of Frankie Machine is a regular person who is trying his best to shake off a heroin addiction but is simply failed by a society that does not have the means to support him. A compelling and empathetic performance by Sinatra, and subject matter which openly defied the Production Code of its era, made this a memorable classic for many and contributed to a better world. This week on SUDDENLY, friend of the show Spike Vincent joins us to watch The Man With the Golden Arm, sharing his thoughts and personal experiences. Meanwhile, Rabia has been reading up on the MSIR and reports back on the experience of touring the facility to see what goes on first-hand. As a thematic wild card, we also watched an Australian DVD of the film called A Night at the Cinema with extra footage intended to replicate the experience of seeing this film in 1955 in a cinema in specifically Castlemaine, Victoria - including "God Save the Queen", a newsreel, cartoon, local ads etc - which leads us to compelling footage of the 1955 Maitland floods. Plus, an update on Bobby Long.

Otto Preminger's ripped-from-the-headlines courtroom drama Anatomy of a Murder (1959) stars a delightful mix of young and old Hollywood, is a big middle finger to the Production Code, and is an ode to manipulating the US legal system. And if that weren't enough, we've got a soundtrack by Duke Ellington and titles by Saul Bass.

One of the top movies of the film noir genre ever made, about a detective (Dana Andrews) investigating the mysterious murder of an advertising executive (Gene Tierney).  Co-starring Clifton Webb and Vincent Price.  Directed by Otto Preminger.

Sticking with 20th Century Fox film noir, we fast-forward a few years from Road House (1948) and talk about Where the Sidewalk Ends.

With these immensely important figures in film noir, along with highly noir story filled with dark settings, characters, and themes, this 1950 film is especially representative of the classic era. Patreon: patreon.com/ShadowsofNoir/Website: shadowsofnoir.comLetterboxd: letterboxd.com/ShadowsofNoir/

When Jason reached out and asked me, retired and also dead crooner, Dean Martin, to say a few words about Stalag 17, I was confused, as I had nothin' to do with the picture, jack. I wasn't even in the service for very long, myself. Hernia, they told me. It was at that point that he got real hot and some words flew around and we settled things with a bottle of the good stuff. Eventually, I was able to sneak out after agreeing to write this. I'm nothing if not a man of my word. So, buddy-o, lemme set you straight: this is a heck of a picture. What ain't straight was Billy Holden's driving, which we saw to tragic effect. That ain't funny, that's just a fact, jack.  So, watch it and listen to this podcast thing about it? I don't care. I did my part. I'm off to the ghost bar, baby. Next week: It's gonna get biblical! Questions? Comments? Suggestions?

La Rivière sans retour, River of no Return, est un film américain réalisé par un viennois exilé, Otto Preminger en 1954. La Rivière sans retour, cʹest une des réponses proposée par lʹindustrie du cinéma, la flamboyante Hollywood, pour retrouver de sa superbe après lʹavènement de la télévision. Car la télévision grignote les parts de marché et le cinéma, hobby de toutes et tous, doit céder sa place aux visionneurs de salon. Pas question pour Hollywood de se laisser faire. Dʹoù, dans les années cinquante, une surenchère de films à très grand spectacle que la télévision ne peut offrir et lʹarrivée de nouvelles techniques, à lʹinstar du Cinémascope qui sera utilisé pour une des premières fois pour ce film. Ajoutez à cela la rencontre de deux superstars du moment, Robert Mitchum et Marilyn Monroe et vous avez un western épique, tourné en décors naturels, qui va faire date. Le tournage est un poil compliqué. Marilyn Monroe, accompagnée de sa coach Natasha Lytess ne supporte pas les remarques du réalisateur. Lui est constamment agacé par ses retards et par la fait quʹelle ne retient pas son texte. Entre eux deux, une antipathie qui se ressent et un tournage sauvé par le bon sens de Robert Mitchum qui fait office de catalyseur entre les deux. Mais on vous racontera tout ça, tout comme on vous racontera cette histoire un peu mélodramatique dʹun jeune veuf, de son fils et dʹune chanteuse de saloon. La rédemption, ça fonctionne toujours au cinéma. Ne tardons plus, Kay, Marc et Matt, sont montés sur le radeau, poursuivi par les Indiens, et les voilà emportés par les rapides de cette rivière sans retour sur laquelle ce qui devait être une descente aux enfers, va se transformer en épreuve morale qui transformera tous les personnages.
